Hey there, hope some of you guys (and girls ?) can help me. I added a new flowfield which shows me an email adress from another table (depending on a filter). No I wanna open a new mail via Outlook. I have the code from an e-mail field a former colleque of mine wrote. So, everything great but at a lenght of more then 10 field of the email adress I get following message (roughly translated) : “Overflow during the conversion of type of text to code” All properties are exactly the same as in the working e-mail field. Any hint where the problem might be ? Thx´s in advance, Christian Rettig Cycos AG cre@cycos.com Overflow during the conversion - text to code
Hi Christian! I think the problem is caused by the code your collegue wrote, just check it out with the debugger: the error occurs e.g. if you assign a string length >10 to a text/code-field length <=10. But I recommend not to use your own “e-mail code”. There is codeunit 397 Mail (in NF 2.60) which does the job (function “NeuMitteilung”)! Regards, Jörg Joerg A. Stryk Apollo-Optik, IT/ERP
Here´s The code I use : IF EmailEnd <> ‘’ THEN BEGIN IF tmp_emailend.GET(“Endkundenr.”,EmailEnd) THEN BEGIN anrede := tmp_emailend.Anredewahl; IF anrede = anrede::“Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren” THEN anredetxt := ‘Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren’; IF anrede = anrede::“Sehr geehrter Herr” THEN anredetxt := ‘Sehr geehrter Herr’; IF anrede = anrede::“Sehr geehrte Frau” THEN anredetxt := ‘Sehr geehrte Frau’; END; Betreff := Projektname; “!body2” := anredetxt + ’ ’ + “primäre Kontaktperson”; outlookaufruf.outlook(EmailEnd,Betreff,"!body2"); END ELSE MESSAGE(‘Keine Email Adresse der primären KP vorhanden !’); Maybe that helps. Christian
Hi Christian. This error usually occurs when there is a mis match in Data types or Overflow in the String sizes being assigned as mentioned by Joerg. Check the Field Lenght and Field Types for the following Variables * anrede := tmp_emailend.Anredewahl; - Both Should be of the same type and Length * anredetxt - if the lenght of this Variable is less then increase it by 10 more * Betreff := Projektname; - Both Should be of the same type and Length * “!body2” - This variable should definately by more than the Variables being concatenated and assigned so increase the length of this one since i dont understand much of your language i have mentioned all the Variables that are being assigned but just a guess this error is being cause by (anrede) variable. I hope this helps NGP/NCSD
Hi again! Use the debugger to find out the exact line where the error occurs: Extras - Debugger - Active (Yes) Extras - Debugger - Breakpoint (No) Then run the code, the debugger will stop at the line that “produces” the error. Check the length of all text/code variables that are used.
quote:
… IF anrede = anrede::“Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren” THEN anredetxt := ‘Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren’; IF anrede = anrede::“Sehr geehrter Herr” THEN anredetxt := ‘Sehr geehrter Herr’; IF anrede = anrede::“Sehr geehrte Frau” THEN anredetxt := ‘Sehr geehrte Frau’; …
This is not necessary. Better would be:
...
anredetxt := FORMAT(anrede);
...
quote:
… “!body2” := anredetxt + ’ ’ + “primäre Kontaktperson”; …
Better:
...
"!body2" := STRSUBSTNO('%1 %2', anredetxt, "primäre Kontaktperson");
...
quote:
outlookaufruf.outlook(EmailEnd,Betreff,“!body2”);
This is not a NAVISION-Standard function. You could use the standard with CU 397:
Globals or Locals
...
Variable "Mail", DataType "Codeunit", SubType 397
...
Mail.NeuMitteilung(<ZuName>,<CCName>,Betreff,"!body2",<DateiNameAnhängen>,<ÖffneDialog>);
...
is email-adress of the adressed is email-adress of cc-adressed <DateiNameAnhängen> is path/name of an attached file <ÖffneDialog> is to show or not the email-dialog This would call the clients standard-email programm.

Thx everybody, it´s working. I used the Navision codeunit to do the job. But there´s still one little problem : If I decide not to send this e-mail an just close it Navision will give me an error. “User cancelled process” Any hint how to get rid of it ? But thanks again, response time is gigantic

Then You need to do your own ocx. That error message does not come from Navision, but from the ocx. On the other note, I try to awoid that message by doing this:
textVariable := copystr(AnnotherVariable,1,maxstrlen(textVariable));
This will make sure, that I don’t get the owerflow error message. //Henrik Helgesen -: KISS::Keep it Simple, Stupid :-
